PERMANENT-HAVING ATTACHMENT.

Application filed February 11, 1928. Serial No. 253,500.

This invention relates to hair curling devlces.

Among the objects of the invention is to provide a device of the type set forth having 6 improved means to ermit the hair to be curled even at a point in close proximity to the roots of the hair.

Another object of the invention is to provide a device of the character described in which a hair clamp is associated in an improved manner with a hair curler that permits the hair to be tightly wound to any desired degree, and curled to a point closer to the head than has heretofore been pos- A further object of the invention is the production of a device of the class specified, which is simple and inexpensive 1n construction, comprises few parts, that are easy to operate, and which is elficient in use to a hi h de es.

ith e foregoing and other objects in in view the invention consists in the arragementand combination of parts hereinafter 5 described and claimed, and while the invention is not restricted to the exact details of construction disclosed or suggested herein, still for the purpose of illustrating a practical embodiment thereof reference is had so to the accomfiianying drawings in which like reference c aracters designate the same parts in the several views, and in which- Fi re 1 is an elevational view showin the 0 am in position on a lock of hair, an

Fig. 10 is a side view of the clamp in open position.

Fig. 11 shows a lock of hair curled by my improved device.

Referring in detail to the drawings, 12 denotes a device embod ing the invention. Said device includes a p urality of separate parts or units which are adapted for compact inter-engagement. Generally described A indicates a clamp for receiving a lock of hair L adjacent to a persons scalp or head H. The lock of hair is wound about a member B, with the use of pa r in a well known manner. When the Mn ing has been completed, the member B is alongside the clamp A. Thereafter, the cover C is slip ed over the coil of hair on member B. T e cover interlocks with portions carried by the clamp, and has pawl and ratchet engagement with the member B. The said cover C now constitutes an anchorage with respect to which the member B may be rotated to tighten the coil of hair, and be retained by said cover against reverse movement. The member B and cover 0 are now in central alignment-with the clam opening. The tension on the lock of hair is in opposed direction'to the interlockin portions of the clamp, so that the action 0 said portions, is of a simplified character. Final y a heatin appliance D of any type well known in t e art is applied over t e device 12.

More particularly described, the clam A includes a plurality of jaws 13, 14. To t ese may be attached wooden strips 15 extending therealong, by any suitable means as for example, prongs 15 struck from t e jaws. To the jaw 13 is rigidly secured a hill member 16, the jaw 14 being pivoted to t e latter at 17. A locking member 18 is pivotally connected at 19 to the 'aw 13. The member 18 includes a. pair 0 metal strips 18 at o posite sides of the jaw 13. Between the said strips 18" at the free ends thereof is mounted a lever 20 on a pin 21, the lever having a cam portion 20 for a purpose soon to be describe When the clamp is closed, the end 14 of the jaw 14 is received between the strips 18 of the member 18, after which the lever 20 is swun counterclockwise causing cam 20 to abut t e side edge portion 14 50 hair.

of the jaw 14 and tightly closing the clamp. To guard against cutting the hair the said jaws are preferably lined with rubber 22 set into their longitudinal grooves 13 and 14.

The clamp A is provided with engaging.

members or hooks 23, 24 positioned at one side of the clamp at the ends of the same. The said hooks may be mounted directly on members 16 and 18, in rigid engagement therewith. Preferably, the hooks are formed of thin strips of metal as shown in Fig. 7. These strips are bent at 2 to comprise side portions 25 extending along the 15 respective members 16 and 18 and secured thereto by the ivot and engaging pins shown at the cuts of said members. The bends 24 provide reversely extending portions 26 parallel to the portions 25, the

former portions terminating in the hooks 23 aforesaid.

The core B includes a tube 27, which gradually decreases in diameter from each end toward the center thereof. An arm 28 of arcuate cross section is pivotally'mounted at 29 at one end of the tube. The latter is provided with a coaxial ratchet wheel 30 in proximity to the pivot 29.

The cover 0 comprises a pair, of members 30 31, 32, hingedly connected at 33. Mounted on the member 32 is a spring awl 34, secured to the same by eyelet asteners 35. The said pawl engages the ratchet wheel 30, when the cover C is caused to embrace mem- 35 ber A. Air holes in the form of eyelets 35 are also provided.

A locking portion or engagement flange 36 is formed integrally on the cover member 32. The said flange extends along the memher 32 and is bent outward therefrom as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The companion cover member 31 is formed with integral outward extending flange ortions 37 at its ends. Between the said ange portions, is

a downward extending stop flange 38, which the locking flange 36 is engaged with the hooks 23. coincidentally, the flange portions 37 are seated on the hook carrying strips 26, and the stop flange 38 received between the said hook carrying strips to preventendwise movement of the cover C with respect to the clamp A. The 0 erator then manually turns the member by taking hold of the ratchet wheel 30 between the fingers, and rotating the same. Thus any desired tension may be put on the hair.

Owing to the direction in which member B is rotated, the tension acts in opposed relation to the locking hooks 23, 24 and their coacting flange 36. The position of the said coacting parts is such that the member B and cover C are disposed in central alignment with the opening in the clamp as is clearly shown in Fig. 3. Thus even those portions of the hair in close proximity to the head H are wound up for curling. The form of the coil assumed by the lock of hair is shown in Fig. 4. Finally, the heater D is applied to give the lock of hair a fixed curle efl'ect.

By the construction hereinbefore known, after clamp A and member B had been applied to the hair, a cover 0, was placed in position. On ti htening the hair by rotation of the rate let wheel 30 as above set forth, the parts B and C would be caused to move laterally with respect to the central opening of the clamp, as shown in Fig. 5. This would result from a tangential pull of the hair on the member B. Further, a spring 40 would have to be applied over the cover to cause the same to bind over the coil of hair and prevent any unwinding of same. The form of the coil of the lock of hair on member B, according: to this construction, is shown in Fig. 6. he length of hair left uncurled is shown at 41 as compared with 42 of the coil of Fig. 4.
